Another difference between the 4 years - Strut Tower Covers

[5bird7]

Have someone looking for the driver's side strut tower cover on a 2005 Thunderbird. Are these still available? or another one of those parts no longer in stock?

By the way: 2005 and 2002 driver's side strut tower covers are drastically different. Don't know if the 2003s and 04s are like the 05s.

Here's the difference between the years.

Also Noted that the 05 cover is similar to the right side Tower cover other than a small indentation to fit around another part.

When dealer put new struts on our '05, it replaced tower covers incorrectly - had to "straighten" them myself when we got it home, allowing for the indentation.

Which means that the right side cover will work in a pinch.

"pinch" is right!
